7710 Question 1
Misrepresentation by Noncertified Individuals
This discussion explores your responsibility to the BACB. Consider the following scenario:You just started working at a facility that advertises it provides behavior analytic services to children diagnosed with
autism spectrum disorder. You are earning great pay, and your supervisor seems very nice. However, you noticed on
your supervisor’s business card that she lists that she is a “Board Certified Behavior Analyst.” However, she does not
hold a certification in behavior analysis. You know this is a tough topic, as she has admitted to you she failed the exam twice.
Discuss the concerns and challenges you face in this situation. What does the compliance code suggest you do in this
scenario?

Unit 8 Discussion Prompt 1COLLAPSE
If I was working for a facility that advertises that it provides behavior analytic services and my supervisor had a business card listing her as a BCBA when I know for a fact she is not, it is my ethical responsibility to report her to the
BACB. Code 10.07 Discouraging Misrepresentation by Non-certified Individuals states that behavior analysts must report non-certified practitioners to the BACB and appropriate state licensing board. (Bailey & Burch, 2016)
Because this supervisor is nice and I like the job, this would be difficult. However, it is important to remember that what
she is doing is unfair to the client and their families. I would not want to get surgery from an almost doctor or
represented in court by an almost lawyer. The importance of becoming board certified is that clients and families can
be assured their behavior analyst has the competence necessary to give the treatment they are advertising. I would give this supervisor a chance to report herself, but warn her that if she does not, I will. Then if I continued working for this facility, I would keep my eyes open. Negligence like that is often accompanied.

In the first example we have a teacher trying to determine if violent cartoons lead to aggressive behaviors in cartoon
children. The experimenters use Alternating-Treatment Designs (ATD) design, which consists of two conditions occurring alternately in hopes to define a relationship between variables (Miltenberger, 2016). This type of design rules
out all extraneous values as the type of values would have to be similar across conditions (Miltenberger, 2016). In our
fist condition the treatment ATD was designed with A-B-A-B-A-B pattern. The first day, violent cartoons were introduced.
The second day there were no cartoons. The data proved that aggressive behaviors occurred more frequently on days
where the violent cartoons were introduced (Miltenberger, 2016). The primary benefit to implementing the ATD A-B-A-B
design Is controlling particular confounds (Miltenberger, 2016).
The second example is an ADT done in randomized order, particularly A-B-B-A-B-A-A-B order. Marlow and Colleagues, examine percentage of improvement when treatment A is introduced in comparison to treatment B. This type of ATD
may be used when an experimenter is trying to compare treatment efficiency (Barlow, et. al., 2016).
Alternating-Treatment Design is a useful tool used to not only compare efficiency treatments, but may also be used to
show a functional relationship as in the example with cartoons (Miltenberger, 2016). The data displays a functional
relationship between violent cartoons watched and aggressive behaviors. ATD may be used for a variety of reasons in
the clinical setting.
